Ashley Manor Memory Care

Ashley Manor Memory Care, with several locations including Ashley Manor Cedar in Pocatello, Idaho, offers care and support for people living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or other forms of dementia, and they also have a spot in Meridian. Residents live in small, home-like settings with private or semi-private suites, where they can bring personal belongings and decorate their rooms how they like. The facility focuses on routine and a warm, family feeling, while staff trained in dementia care provide help twenty-four hours a day, including nursing support on call and assistance with all daily tasks, medication, and even oxygen. People who live here get three home-cooked meals daily, snacks, and specialized diets if needed, while support for health covers areas like wound care, podiatry, medication management, high acuity needs, behavior and incontinence care, hospice, and home health. They offer a secure living space with alarm systems, locked backyards with walking paths, patios, and safety equipment like sprinkler systems, so residents who have trouble remembering things can move about safely. Everybody can join in activities that encourage thinking and socializing, with memory-enhancing games, sensory and therapy options such as aroma therapy, music, light, and reminiscence therapies, and there are always both group and personal programs happening, some aimed specifically at people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Family involvement is encouraged with newsletters, support groups, and resources from the Alzheimer's Association, and the house manager has a reputation for staying in touch with families. Pets are allowed, and residents can expect laundry, housekeeping, fitness, games, arts and crafts, WiFi, and kitchenettes, with help for transportation as needed. Staff work with families to write personalized care plans so every resident gets attention that matches their habits, health, and wishes, and they also offer respite care when caregivers at home need a break. People talk about a comfortable setting that's calm and secure, where dignity and independence matter and the focus remains on enhancing life for those who can no longer remember as well as they used to, though online reviews show a range of experiences with an average rating of about 4.56 for some sites, with a few reports closer to 3.0 stars at others. A tour can be set up to visit in person, and the Ashley Manor team provides clear info on different care levels, move-in details, and available services, while the Cedar location stands out for its dedicated memory care programming right in the heart of Pocatello.
